Worth watching and it's brilliant that something of interest is happening when most of us will be home and able to watch it unfold (with a lie-in the next morning too. Bonus!)

However, perhaps in the spirit the inevitable non-apocalypse backlash in the "Hurricane Katie" thread in a couple of days, I'll only use the quotes from experts like Captain Shortwave that serve my purpose. Which are "Monday..a....severe storm....70mph....secondary low,.....severe."

It had better happen exactly like that Captain! :)

I've got a feeling this will be more of a channel and coastal event then it will be for inland areas, the latest charts suggest it'll stay a little further south then first indicated meaning it'll effect a narrower area of our shores if at all.

Good really, I don't want another tree to fall over a powerline like what has happened and we ended up in pitch black all evening and lost a fridge of food. Can stay away for all I care.

Watching Storm Katie closely, not so much for me in North Kent, but for parents due to get the lunchtime ferry back from Calais!

I'd skip lunch if I was them. How strong must winds be to cancel ferry crossings?

If we look at this set up & then compare October 1987 there are a lot of similarities-

I havent looked on the METO page but there should already be amber warnings out & sunday overnight into monday may eventually be upgraded to red...

Well at the moment one hopes not too similar. The 1987 depression dropped to 953mb as it approached the western Channel from Biscay.

You are well situated to see the real strength of Storm Kate 

Latest GFS, the swathe of damaging winds are largely offshore Hampshire/W Sussex coastline

any northern movements and it would be troubling indeed. Gusting roughly 80mph at 0000 just out to sea, on land this can cause a fair bit of damage :shok: 

I expect to see your location to be covered by Amber at least.

Rotten afternoon here, bring back the dry weather please 'weather gods'

I wish I could get excited over a squall line and a bit of wind and rain...

I'm definitely living in the wrong country when Dry/sunny - Snow/cold - Heat/thunderstorms is your preferred weather type - lol

The unwanted quote box in a new post has happened to me too Ben. I've found that if you hold your pointer over the box, a 'cross' appears above the top left-hand border of the box. Click on this and it highlights the entire quote box; then you can hit the delete or back-space key to get rid of it. (Hope that makes sense). :)

This squall was absolutely insane on the night of 07th February most incredible rainfall accompanied by very strong gusts, it was very short lived, but it packed a mighty punch.

This afternoon's 12z Arpege run continues to show max southerly gusts of around 110/120 km/h (70/75 mph) for southern coastal counties in the early hours of Monday. This is ahead of the cold front associated with storm Katie. And the model is refusing to drop its idea of even stronger s/westerly gusts following along later Monday morning, as Katie exits the eastern coast to the north of the Wash. If Arpege is correct, this secondary 'burst' of strong winds is more worrying as it occurs around the middle of the day and would impact all forms of travel in the SE corner.

Meanwhile GFS tones it down the ARPEGE on the other hand a real beastie for densely populated southeastern corner of Britain this is very thrilling to watch it must be said.

So the question is, will the gfs back track to the arpege idea or  the arpege back towards the gfs 

Well if it's anything like its OTT snowfall prediction expect it to back towards the GFS big time.

I know where my money is, but you never know. Fingers crossed the GFS is right.
